02What they warned about

Four of twelve models held their first choice under the paraphrase. Claude Haiku 4.5, Mistral Small, DeepSeek V4 Flash, Llama 4 Maverick, Qwen 3.7 Flash, Kimi K2, GLM 4.7 FlashX and MiniMax M2.5 changed. A high negative share on a product with few labels is a warning. A low share on a product with many labels is salience, not sentiment.
Amazon EKS

29 of 56 labels negative · 10 of 12 models · 10 hard negative
“small businesses should be cautious about—or avoid—the following managed Kubernetes platforms: 1. **AWS EKS, Azure AKS, and Google GKE**” Mistral Small, negative prompt

6 of 8 labels negative · 5 of 12 models · 4 hard negative
“**Heavy licensing** – pricing is based on cores or nodes and can be prohibitive for small teams.” MiniMax M2.5, negative prompt

03What they cite

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list: twelve of the twelve in this edition, and all six flagship models on the expanded tier.

Sites the answers cite

62 of 72 answers in this category came back with a source list, from 12 of 12 models: citations where the model returns them, or the search results it consulted. 5 of those lists are Google grounding redirects that name no site and are left out of the counts. 758 links across 178 sites, every framing counted. Ranked by the number of answers carrying the site or page.

04How they answered

Six framings of the same buying question, each sent to every model in a fresh session with search on. One row per model, so a row shows whether it held its answer under rewording, what it named when cost was the constraint, and what it argued against. Computed from the raw judge labels.
